Spanish Tile Roof Replacement in Greensboro, NC
Great State Roofing completed this full roof replacement for a distinctive Spanish-style residence in the prestigious Country Club neighborhood of Greensboro, North Carolina. The project combined Brava Spanish Barrel Tile in Tuscan Clay with custom copper roofing details and fully adhered membrane systems for the home’s low-slope roof sections.

A Roofing System Designed for a Spanish-Style Home
Spanish-style homes are defined by strong architectural details, including textured exterior finishes, curved rooflines, warm natural colors, and traditional barrel tile roofing. Replacing a roof on this type of property requires more than selecting a durable material. The new roof must also complement the home’s proportions, color palette, and original architectural intent.
For this Greensboro residence, Brava Spanish Barrel Tile provided the appearance of traditional clay tile without compromising the project’s performance goals. The Tuscan Clay color introduced rich, varied earth tones that coordinate naturally with the home’s Spanish-inspired exterior.
The finished roof maintains the depth and character associated with authentic barrel tile while creating a cohesive appearance across the home’s complex roofline.
Brava Spanish Barrel Tile in Tuscan Clay
The primary roof sections were replaced with Brava Spanish Barrel Tile, a premium synthetic roofing material designed to reproduce the dimension and appearance of traditional clay barrel tile.
Its Tuscan Clay color was especially well suited to this residence. The blend of warm terracotta and natural clay tones gives the roof a distinctive, established appearance rather than a flat or uniform finish.
Careful layout and installation were essential for maintaining consistent courses, clean transitions, and balanced visual lines across the roof. Our team paid close attention to the home’s hips, ridges, valleys, penetrations, and adjoining roof sections so the completed system would look intentional from every angle.
Custom Copper Valleys and Flashing
Copper played an important role in both the appearance and performance of this Greensboro roof replacement.
All new copper valleys were installed to direct rainwater through critical drainage areas while complementing the warm tones of the Tuscan Clay roofing. The project also included custom-fabricated copper flashing around transitions and vulnerable roof details.
Unlike generic, prefabricated components, custom copper work can be shaped to match the dimensions and conditions of an individual roof. This allows for cleaner integration around complex architectural features while adding a refined visual detail.
Decorative copper accents were also incorporated throughout the roofing system. As the copper naturally develops its patina over time, it will add even more character to the home’s exterior.
EPDM and TPO Roofing for Low-Slope Sections
The residence included low-slope roof areas that required a different roofing approach from the main barrel tile sections. Traditional tile is not appropriate for every roof pitch, particularly where water drains more slowly.
To protect these areas, we installed fully adhered EPDM and TPO membrane roofing systems. These systems provide continuous coverage across low-slope surfaces and help protect vulnerable areas against water intrusion.
The membrane sections were integrated carefully with the surrounding tile roof and custom metalwork. Proper transitions between different roofing systems are especially important on a complex residence because each material must work as part of one complete water-management system.
New Coping Caps and Edge Metal
Newly fabricated coping caps and edge metal were installed to complete the low-slope roof sections.
These components provide finished protection along roof edges and parapet-style details while helping prevent moisture from reaching the underlying construction. Accurate measurements and custom fabrication allowed the metal components to fit the home cleanly without appearing oversized or disconnected from the rest of the roof.
The result is a finished appearance that supports both the roof’s drainage performance and the residence’s architectural style.
Premium Materials With Detailed Craftsmanship
This project required experience with several specialized roofing systems and materials:
- Synthetic Spanish barrel tile
- Custom copper valleys
- Copper roof flashing
- Decorative copper details
- Fully adhered EPDM roofing
- Fully adhered TPO roofing
- Custom coping caps
- Fabricated edge metal
Successfully combining these components required detailed planning at every transition. Tile, copper, membrane roofing, and edge metal each perform differently, so installation details had to account for drainage, roof pitch, material movement, and the home’s complex architecture.
Great State Roofing focuses on quality over quantity, with careful installation and attention to details that influence the roof’s performance over time. That approach was especially important for a specialty roof replacement of this scope.
The Completed Greensboro Roof Replacement
The completed roofing system preserves the timeless character of this Spanish-style Greensboro home while providing a carefully integrated combination of modern roofing materials.
Brava Spanish Barrel Tile creates the visual impact of traditional clay tile. Custom copper valleys, flashings, and accents add craftsmanship and architectural depth. EPDM and TPO membranes protect the low-slope roof areas, while new coping caps and edge metal provide clean, weather-resistant finishes.
Together, these elements create a unified roofing system designed around the home rather than a one-size-fits-all installation.
